Comparison Reports

What is a Comparison Report?

A Comparison Report allows you to view your summarized survey data broken down by group. By “group” we mean any question in your survey (such as Organization, Gender, Occupation, Question 42, etc).

By using a comparison report, you can see a side-by-side breakdown of your summarized data, based on the question of your choice.

When would I use a Comparison Report?

When analyzing your data, you may want to focus on one specific question on your survey and how it compares to the rest of your questions. The comparison report allows you to do this. Unlike some of our other reports, a comparison report also allows you to view your summarized data broken down by group with open-ended questions. In other words, it offers a much more effective way to analyze text-box questions.

Comparison Report Examples

A great example use of a Comparison Report would be analyzing demographic information. For instance, if you have a question in your employee survey that asks for an employee’s department, and you’d like to see how satisfied a particular department’s employees are with the office’s break room setup, you could choose “department” as your source question on the report.

You can then see which department favors the breakroom setup more, and what each department said about it!
